LaLiga side Villarreal have signed Spain international forward Ayoze Perez from Betis after paying his release clause of four million euros.

The 31-year-old has agreed to a four-year contract with the club from the east coast of Spain, who were looking to replace Norwegian forward, Alexander Sorloth, following his move to Atletico Madrid.

Ayoze moves after a season and a half at Betis, where he netted 15 goals in 59 appearances, with nine of those coming in LaLiga. The rapid striker, who has also played for Newcastle United and Leicester City in England, had three seasons left on his contract with Betis, but his low release clause made him a tempting target, especially after his form last season saw him force his way into the Spain squad.

Ayoze formed part of Spain's squad for their successful European Championship campaign this summer, although injury prevented him from playing in the knockout stages of the tournament.
